Well, the latest link makes much more sense than the last one when Aston Villa’s 30-year-old Columbian hit-man was said to be a summer target.
This time the bastion of football news, well The Sun anyway, says Tottenham Hotspur will chase the £7million signature of Manchester United’s star striker Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Speculation was always going to follow the Carling Cup final when Nistelrooy found himself an unused sub. Whilst the other players were celebrating, the Dutchman cut a forlorn figure and went to the changing room far earlier than the rest. You could say he had a long face on him. 😉
Sir Alex Ferguson has denied there are any problems with his relationship with the 30-year-old but reports today claim the manager might be tempted to cash in on the striker despite ‘Van the man’ being Uniteds top scorer this season with 19 goals in the Premiership, 1 European and 1 league cup.
It goes without saying that Spurs wouldn’t be his only suitor, although maybe the Dutch link with Martin Jol and the pit bull might just tip the balance in our favour.
